August and Everything After

August and Everything After is the debut studio album by American rock band Counting Crows, released September 14, 1993, on Geffen Records.

The album was produced by T Bone Burnett and featured the founding members of the band: Steve Bowman (drums), David Bryson (guitar), Adam Duritz (vocals), Charlie Gillingham (keyboards), and Matt Malley (bass).

Among the several session musicians used for the album was multi-instrumentalist David Immerglück, who later joined the band as a full-time member in 1999, as well as Burnett, who also provided additional guitar work.

The second disc is taken from the band's penultimate performance during the August tour, recorded at Élysée Montmartre in Paris, France, on December 9, 1994.
